original buildings and some current residents.

Few mining towns had more demises and re-births
than did Ohio City. Gold gave the town its start in the early 1860s and
shut it down when the placer gold ran out. No one bothered to find the
lode that was the source of the nuggets and Ohio City was no more. The
silver boom of 1879 brought miners back to what was left of the town.
A sizable vein was found and Ohio City was re-born. That lasted until
1893 when the boom collapsed and so did the town. In 1896, some prospectors
found the lode that was the source for the nuggets found in the '60s.
Ohio City was again re-born. Mining operations continued until about 1916
until costs exceeded revenues. Submitted by Henry Chenoweth.
